Moderator Don Lemon asked democratic candidates about their "racial blind spots" during CNN's Democratic debate on Sunday. Here's how they answered.
"I know that I've never had the experience that so many of the people in this audience have had. And I think it's incumbent upon me and what I've been trying to talk about during this campaign is to urge white people to think about what it is like to have the talk with your kids, scared that your sons or daughters even could get in trouble for no good reason whatsoever," former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during the debate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders took a different approach.
"When you're white, you don't know what it's like to be living in a ghetto. You don't know what it's like to be poor. You don't know what it's like to be hassled when you walk down the street or you get dragged out of a car," Sanders said.
Sanders caught some flak for his answer.
So far, minority voters prefer Clinton over Sanders.
